Tag: H.R. 2 - Repealing The Job-Killing Health Care Law ActBy Kevin Rex Heine, Section News
~ Promoted because that other thing was depressing.. ~
Okay, boys and girls, we have heard that H.R. 2, Repealing the Job-Killing Health Care Law Act, was an A-List priority for the 112th Congress (at least for the House of Representatives). In fact, it was debated for the past two days, and voted on this evening. The Democrats attempted to score political points by putting forward a motion to recommit (with instructions) and attaching - to the motion - an amendment calling for the elimination of healthcare benefits for Members of Congress. Voting for the motion would be tantamount to voting against repeal of ObamaCare, and the motion failed, 185-245. The vote on H.R. 2 was then taken, and it passed 245-189. The video is of my Congressman, Justin Amash, giving a floor statement yesterday afternoon in support of H.R. 2 (the text of the statement is below the fold). Very well done, Congressman.
